Carly Graber LCSW

We'll begin by better understanding the bigger picture of your life, your world, and what challenges are most pressing for you. Together, we'll create a roadmap of where you'd like to be in a few weeks and a few months from now. Each session we will address what's happening presently in your life, build on our previous work and continue to monitor progress towards your specific goals. The journey of healing and growth can be hard work, but you will have my support at every step to uncover what's beneath your suffering, and learn strategies you can apply immediately. Therapy is an investment of your finite time and energy, so my goal is for you to leave each session feeling your time was well spent.

I take a holistic and eclectic approach to therapy that is grounded in attachment theory, mindful self-compassion, and interpersonal neurobiology (the connection between body, mind, and relationships). I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you gain insight into your challenges, learn tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions, engage your values, and find more compassion for yourself in each moment. If you're open to it, I love incorporating mindfulness, body-based/somatic practices, parts work, creative outlets, and spirituality!
